[QUOTE="Ink, post: 599537, member: 3"] I see that you already have Avast Antivirus installed, but see if you can answer the following: [LIST=1] [*]How did you upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 7 - Upgrade or Clean installation? [*]Did you previously have other security install on Windows 7 before switching to Windows 10? [*]Are you using the Free or Premium version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware v2.2? [/LIST] If you upgraded to Windows 10, I would [U]Reset Windows 10 keeping Personal files[/U]. All software installed in Program Files will be lost, including licensed applications. It's always better to start afresh when upgrading to major versions. Your personal documents are not affected, but as a precaution make a backup to local medium or online (in the cloud). If you had Avast and Malwarebytes on Windows 7, did you uninstall both before upgrading? I would again, recommend resetting Windows 10. Malwarebytes Premium has real-time protection that potentially can conflict with other scanners, so I therefore recommend adding exclusions to both Avast and Malwarebytes. More information can be found in the product's help file, or ask a member here to assist. My knowledge is limited, but I think Malwarebytes Free installs a background service to run (yes) in the background for various reasons unknown to myself. I do not think they have a Portable version, but I could be wrong. [/QUOTE]
